The montage of BTS clips shown in the video below gives us some remarkable shots of the film's practical sets, animatronic Facehuggers, Chestbursters and Xenomorphs as well as the suits! Interviews with cast and director Fede Alvarez lend major confidence to this entry in the Alien universe. There are some really interesting shots as well showcasing something we've never seen before - a Xenomorph emerging from its cocoon!
Fede Alvarez and Legacy Effects prioritized practical effects wherever they could - ensuring Alien: Romulus maintains that classic look and feel for both audiences and cast alike on-set. Check out the video below and be sure to secure your tickets for Alien: Romulus NOW!
Interesting, producer Ridley Scott chimes in on the video at one point and explains that to him, the Alien / Xenomorph was always conceptually a weapon - which is evident by his approach with the beast in his Alien prequels - which was used to cleanse and eradicate life on planets. This bodes well for the maintenance of his lore established throughout Prometheus and Alien: Covenant.
